Pioneer, Black Partridge, Stone & Paddock: November 19-23, 2016

11/23/2016

On Saturday we worked at Pioneer, burning three brush piles on a windy day. Thanks to new volunteers John and Matthew, to the Friends crew, and everyone else who joined the fray.

Black Partridge was our destination on Sunday, where scout leaders Rich Welge and Bill Derras came to get a feel for the work (Rich was at Pioneer the preceding day as well). They are planning a conservation program for  the scouts, which should be a win-win for all parties when it comes to fruition.

Monday the sixth-grade class from Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Chicago came to Theodore Stone Preserve. A spirited, fun group of kids they were.

Finally, on Wednesday we managed three hours of cut-and-burn despite the rain that follows us each week to Paddock Woods. The only casualty of the weather was our pre-Thanksgiving lunch - we decided to hold off 'til the 30th and hope for drier conditions.
